Hi all - here is my entry for the "Rob the rich" catagory in CCCVIII. I hope you enjoy it half as much as i enjoyed making it!


Robbing the rich... by qi_tah, on Flickr

The kings tax collectors from the MMV were easy pickings for the forest renegades, especially when they decided to take a "short cut" through the deepest part of the forest.

After divesting the tax collectors of thier booty, Robbie and his merry compatriots pay a visit to the the eccentric bowyer and fletcher of Belgrave, Eric Lomax. Eric tells Robbie that for a hefty fee he will sell him a new prototype bow he has been developing, one which will shoot faster and more accurately than the traditional yew longbows, and be faster to load than crossbows. Robbie shells out in an instant, thinking gleefully about the upcoming archery tournament in the nearby hamlet of Sherwood - surely with this awesome new bow he can claim first prize and recoup the outlay?

But wait! Oh noes! It looks like a Crownie patrol have recognised Belgrave's most wanted. Will Robbie get away? I also fear for Eric - hopefully he won't be subjected to extrordinary rendition to an troll/orc labour camp or anything.

Very nice. You did a great job on the buildings, and the woods/ruins are wonderfully atmospheric.

I love the timber building. The ruins are quite nice.

I always really like Forestmen MOCs.

Excellent blend of the categories. The idea is also a new twist. The building in the 3rd pic is fantastic! Lovely scenes.
